>>77991256Thanks Anon, do your best out there.>>77991529Appreciate it man, that's what I was after.
>the /wg/ birthday fics in particular are some of my favoriteThat's hilarious, I gave those fics about a day each to be written and made them as dumb as possible. Great to see my comedy fics get shown some love.
>>77994848Thanks for the read! It's a relief to hear my Amelia was liked, I've always found her difficult to write. Ririka was actually a last minute addition to the story (same with Rikka) so it's also good to hear she was liked. I definitely get where you're coming from with Botan, I think I may have had tunnel vision trying to capture her goofy side that she usually wears on stream. The result was losing sight of the setting and where her relationship with (You) was, which made her flip flop a bit.
As for the italics, it was mostly a style choice. It's pretty easy to tell if it's you're reading a flashback in Holocalypse since the world hasn't been nuked (or has been freshly nuked), but I added a "~~~~~" every time there's a time shift and wrote it in italics to indicate it anyway. All the flashbacks are basically memories, so I guess italics give the narrative a kind of hazy feel. You could try giving italics a go for your story, but it's not too difficult for the reader to pick up on where the part they're reading took place if you drop enough hints. Heartbreak Tokyo did a good job at this if I recall.
